[EM] Majority Sets

[DEMOREP1 at aol.com]

Some more about simple sets ---

26 AB
25 BA
49 C
100

The [AB] set has a majority (of 2).

A standard circular tie ---

35 ABC
34 BCA
31 CAB
100

Doing the 3 set comparisons--

35 [AB]
C  31
 4 [AB] Net
---
34 [BC]
A  35
A   1   Net
---
31 [CA]
B  34
B   3   Net

Does the  4 [AB] Net mean anything ???

However, in each of the 3 set comparisons not all of the votes (100) are 
involved obviously.

The comparison sets could, of course, be larger with 4 or more choices- 3 
versus 1, 2 versus 2 with 4 choices, etc. (with possibly even a smaller 
percentage of the total votes being involved).

The above is yet another reason to have a simple YES/NO vote on the various 
choices.

35 ABC
34 BCA
31 CAB
100

How many YES votes would A, B and C be getting in real elections ???

1st plus 2nd place votes (noting that ANY place vote may or may not be a YES 
vote) ---

A  66
B  69
C  65
  200
